The Moment Before Impact

The Moment Before Impact

by Alison Bruce (Author)

Synopsis

'Unpredictable, challenging and compelling' Sophie Hannah

Death, disappearance and divorce have shaped Jack Bailey's life. The breakdown of his marriage and the loss of his beloved daughter force him to make a new start. He reluctantly returns to Cambridge, his childhood home, but his decision means living in the shadow that still hangs over the place where he grew up.

The old house stirs memories and his reappearance causes ripples amongst the locals who still remember the night, eleven years earlier, when his stepsister vanished without a trace.

When another woman disappears, history seems to be repeating itself. The police probe Jack's past and the only possible witness refuses to help. Tragedy is about to strike again -- and Jack's future depends on how he reacts in the moment before impact.
